Mob Wives: Toni Marie Ricci vs. Carla Facciolo

Mob Wives: Toni Marie Ricci vs. Carla Facciolo

Or what I like to call, “Filming Season 3 and Guaranteeing Season 4”

While all of you are patiently or impatiently waiting for season three of Mob Wives to premiere on January 13th, 2013, I am already wondering about season four. I like to stay one step ahead of everything. My mind wanders, even though I have very few clues about season three. I have no doubt that season three will not disappoint us at all. Still I wonder, is there a sure fire way to garner even bigger ratings for season three and guarantee a season four, all at the same time? I toy with some of the possibilities and then it comes to me! There is a storyline full of drama that would blow up the screen and viewers would eat up. All they have to do is introduce Toni Marie Fappiano/Ricci to the show.

In case you haven’t already heard of Toni Marie, she was on Investigation Discovery’s show, “I Married A Mobster,” season two, in an episode called “Scarred for Life.” She was married to Michael “Mikey Scars” DiLeonardo, a capo in the Gambino crime family. He cheated on Toni Marie with other women, one of whom was Carla Facciolo. From all I have read, there has not been any “closure” between these two women and that would make for a great reality storyline. I also heard that Toni Marie had been approached about being on the show, but declined. Maybe she changed her mind by now? Who knows? Ramona declined season one, but decided to be in season two. It’s possible that Toni Marie has had time to reconsider or the timing would be better for her now. I hope the powers that be make her an offer she can’t refuse! This storyline would be hot!

No one asked me, but if I was a producer on the show, I would introduce Toni Marie in the later episodes of season three. Maybe have her run into Karen at a local place in Staten Island. You may recall that during the Reunion Show for season two, Karen accusingly blurted out that Carla she slept with her “uncle…in the lifestyle.” The “uncle” Karen was referring to was Mikey Scars. So there is a lot of history there too. Karen and Toni Marie could “catch up” on things in an episode or two, and segue into talking about Carla and the past. Eventually, Toni Marie and Carla meet up and tensions build. The two women have it out with each other, maybe in season four. The drama would be real. Viewers would be glued to their seats! I imagine there is A LOT Toni Marie would love to say to Carla, don’t you?

Jennifer Graziano, executive producer of Mob Wives, you know this is a great idea. I know you had to have thought about all the possibilities for this storyline already. Do I really have to write a skit and show you how this would make for great reality television? No, I don’t think so, but I may do it one of these days anyway, just for the fun of it. Meanwhile, I am throwing this idea out there and hope it opens doors to conversations that eventually lead to my getting my way!

Come on readers and fans of the show, what do you think? Add your opinion in the comments below and maybe we can persuade Jenn to work her magic on Toni Marie!

You know I am 100% behind this idea!!! Toni Marie should be on that show to rattle Carla!! Carla has set up this I'm classier than the rest attitude. In reality she has a dirty past and it is time that Carla gets bumped off that pedestal!! Toni Marie deserves to be the one to do the bumping! Team Toni Marie ALL THE WAY

Carla is a dirty rat and should be called one to her called one to her face this is only one of 5 or 6 married men she's been intimately linked too.But ToniMarie doesn't have a reputation as a loud mouth or a fighter ,so why have her relive such a painful time when she has riseN above crappie fuccemola with class?

Of course the final decision would be Toni Marie's whether or not she would be on the show. No one knows unless she is asked at this point. Maybe enough time has passed for her to want to confront Carla? Why should Carla walk around with her nose in the air, thinking she is better than everyone else, when she is a home wrecker? I'm just throwing the idea out there. I didn't hear Toni Marie complain about the blog either...hmmmm

By reading some of the ppl's comments, it seems no one cares for Carla... Why is that? I have watched Mob Wives faithfully since the beginning and I find Carla to be very mellow. She doesn't want to get mixed up in any of the drama like the rest of them do, etc. She's quiet and low key. So what's the problem with her? Everyone seems to think that Carla thinks she's "all that", but if you look at the other women, she's the only one that doesn't come across like "a broad". So obviously she's going to come across like she's "high on her horse". An exampe of this is, if a woman walks into biker bar dressed like she's from 5th avenue, she's obviously going to stick out like a sore thumb against a room full of biker chicks, right? But that doesn't mean that the woman is conceded in any way. It's just that she doesn't conform to the rest of the women in the bar. Well, that's how i see Carla. She doesn't have that "tough guy" image, so she's different from the rest. Now, unless i've missed something...? I personally think Carla is a classy chick based on the other group of women. So I just don't get it why everyone is so negative about her. Someone fill me in... Thx

Megan, I'll try to answer your question. Carla has been my least favorite since the beginning. I see her as shallow, self centered, and uncaring. She is concerned primarily about her looks. She failed to be a good friend to Renee on several occasions. She lies. Plus, she has no personality. She gives the impression she thinks she is better than everyone else. There is a lot more I can say, but these are some reasons Carla is at the bottom of my list of wives.

Didn't this happen 20 yrs ago? I am so sure ,Carla isn't the only woman Scars slept with! OMG LET IT GO! Besides isn't he with some else? And she is still crying about Carla? KEEP IT MOVING TONI MARIE! KEEP IT MOVING!
